Dance Recitals at Hydra
Date: 2025-05-22 AO: hydra Q: Hops PAX: semi-gloss, Motorboat, Clover, Grits, MARTA, Foghorn, thunder_road, puddin_pop, Huddle House, Brandi FNGs: None COUNT: 11 WARMUP: Yep, in the shadow of the new still-wrapped OPES double-wide’s THE THANG: We ran some, probably less than 2 miles but I have no idea. Some paver work and circuits at the abandoned Methodist Church that is apparently going to be section 8 housing…or something. During People’s Chair/Wallthar N’Djayie — something died in Puddin, Gloss or Motorboat so that ended the workout effectively. TR posted at Hydra for the first time in 4 years (or a long time); Clover put aside his previously embraced bitter rivalry with Hydra & Falcon Crest (née Hawks Nest), and posted. Foghorn, Brandi and Huddle were the OP posse that ran in. Grits posted but claimed different injuries while pretty much refuseniking the entire workout. At one point, an M. of a Metro pax (who now lives in A51) walked past and asked if we were F3? Answer: “Yes. But the guys standing around doing nothing but mumblechattering are just here for the 2nd F.” MARY: throughout the workout because YHC needed a break from running ANNOUNCEMENTS: MARTA mentioned a couple F3 events – he stopped shortly into it, and said “no one cares”, but here’s the details nonetheless: F3 A51 Brewruck on Saturday at 11am launching from Sugar Creek Brewing; Memorial Day convergence Monday at Calvary Church @ 7am COT: Of course – we prayed that God would make us more keenly aware that He is God and we are not. Getting that wrong is a bad idea.

Recover back to launch the same way we came via Raintree. Everyone pushed hard today as the summer humidity was in full force here on the track this morning. MARY: None but the cold water bottles and Gatorades ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ghost Runner Starts next Thursday, start time up in the air likely still 7:30, Come to WAMRAP on June 11th Alf and McGee are co-leading for a 90 min workout(sounds terrible more reason why you should go).

Hard to believe it’s been 12 years since TL started this great AO that has become known as the best worst hour in Area 51. It’s been a pleasure to lead our site with Astro over the last 5 years, this AO like I know it does for Astro means a lot to many of us. Here’s to another great year of Fast Twitch, maybe next year management for the 13th year will decide to spring for some parking lot :beer:.
